Market Reports

Wind energy is a rapidly growing market segment of the composites industry. It is
the fastest growing energy sector. On average, the global wind energy market has
grown over 25% annually over the last ten years. Wind energy new capacity installations
worldwide have surged from 39,778 MW in 2003 to 121,613 MW at the end of 2008, representing
on an average of 25.5% increase during that time period. The wind energy market is expected
to grow at an average rate of 14% per year in terms of new capacity installation
in next 5 years. A growing sensitivity for the environment and depleting reserves
of fossil fuels are all fueling the growth of wind energy in the 21st
century.

The wind energy market provides great opportunities to product
manufacturers (gear box, tower, blade, generator, etc.) as well as material suppliers
of the composites industry to expand their businesses. As the global wind energy
market continues to grow, it is important to know which regions have continued to
show growth despite the supply chain issues and rising costs. In addition, it is
important to know the market size for materials for the next five years. According
to this report, market for composite materials is estimated to reach $3.95 billion
by 2014. Wind turbines require the manufacture of large rotor blades, nacelles and
other components using wet lay-up, VARTM, prepreg lay-up and other processes.
